1
Roast the Garlic
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the top off the head of garlic to expose the cloves, drizzle with a little olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for about 30-35 minutes until soft.
2
Prepare the Potatoes
While the garlic is roasting, peel and chop the russet potatoes into even chunks. Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil.
3
Cook the Potatoes
Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes or until fork-tender. Drain the potatoes well.
4
Mash the Potatoes
In the same pot, add the drained potatoes back in. Squeeze out the roasted garlic cloves into the pot, and add butter and heavy cream. Mash until smooth and creamy.
5
Season
Season with salt and black pepper to taste. If desired, stir in chopped chives for garnish.
6
Serve
Serve hot as a delicious side dish.
